Adoption of EUIPN Common Practices in Moldova: capacity building on trade mark registration and examination practices

Despite being under a common framework and same regulations, EU IP offices and those abroad do not always apply the same practices during the registration life cycle of a trade mark. Achieving approximation of practices between IP offices has become a top priority for IP User Associations, within the EU and beyond European borders. Implementing these Common Practices from the EUIPN increases legal certainty, consistency and predictability in the decision-making process and helps to achieve effective and efficient access to the protection offered by the trade mark registration systems. 

This activity will support AGEPI to further align its trade mark practices with those of the EUIPN taking into consideration the Romanian version of the EUIPO examination guidelines for examiners and users..
